Broken, We May Be

Come hell or high water, here, I know I’ll find you. Beside the rushing sea with your heart strings commanding the rip tide. You’re coming through the long forgotten waves. An image of pallor and sadness silhouetted against the current. A darkness pressed between the raging blue and white. The waves crash around you threatening to break and bend. In an instant you could be swallowed whole, never to be heard from again. But like the waves you’re strong and fierce. I can see you just as you see me. Always falling back together, though broken, we may be.

You don’t need a bright light that pierces through darkness to be a strong, towering lighthouse. Even if your light is turned off and the waves are crashing violently on the shore, he will make his way to you. This really was a beautiful paragraph. (Also, that’s one of my favorite quotes from Hemingway. It’s amazing. There’s just something about his writing.)

My favorite quote by him is probably “all I wanted to do now was get back to Africa. We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.” But that’s a close second. 🙂

And I HATE Hemingway as a person. He was an awful person. But his writing, it’s so simple and concise but each word conveys so much meaning. I don’t know how he does it.

About Me

"Lead us from the unreal to the real. Lead us from darkness to light. Lead us from death to immortality" – Sanskrit Mantra

My tag line is this: Imagine Immortality. It’s not about living forever. No one would actually want to live forever. What we want, instead, is time. Time to live, time to love, time to laugh and time to find ourselves. I imagine there will be a moment when we have all the time we need to accomplish our greatest feats and be our greatest selves. That’s why I imagine immortality.

From the lips of our mortal bodies, our words will grant us immortality.
